Maria

34 And while the child's father and mother were wondering at the words of Symeon concerning Him,

35 Symeon blessed them and said to Mary the mother, »This child is appointed for the falling and the uprising of many in Israel and for a token to be spoken against;

19 But Mary treasured up all these things, often dwelling on them in her mind.

26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,

27 to a maiden betrothed to a man of the name of Joseph, a descendant of David. The maiden's name was Mary.

28 So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, »Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you.«

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah?

56 And his sisters–are they not all living here among us? Where then did he get all this?«

3 Now the wine ran short; whereupon the mother of Jesus said to Him, »They have no wine.«

4 »Leave the matter in my hands,« He replied; »the time for me to act has not yet come.«

5 His mother said to the attendants, »Whatever he tells you to do, do it.«

48 while all who heard Him were astonished at His intelligence and at the answers He gave.

49 When they saw Him, they were smitten with amazement, and His mother said to Him, »My child, why have you behaved thus to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in anguish.«

50 »Why is it that you have been searching for me?« He replied; »did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?«

51 But they did not understand the significance of these words.

31 By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.

32 Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, »Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you.«

33 »Who are my mother and my brothers?« He replied.

34 And, fixing His eyes on the people who were sitting round Him in a circle, He said,

35 »Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother –my sister– and my mother.«

46 Then Mary said: »My soul extols the Lord,

47 And my spirit triumphs in God my Saviour;

48 Because He has not turned from His maidservant in her lowly position; For from this time forward all generations will account me happy,

49 Because the mighty One has done great things for me –Holy is His name!–

50 And His compassion is, generation after generation, Upon those who fear Him.

51 He has manifested His supreme strength. He has scattered those who were haughty in the thoughts of their hearts.

52 He has cast monarchs down from their thrones, And exalted men of low estate.

53 The hungry He has satisfied with choice gifts, But the rich He has sent empty-handed away.

54 His servant Israel He has helped, Remembering His compassion–

55 In fulfillment of His promises to our forefathers–For Abraham and his posterity for ever.«

18 The circumstances of the birth of Jesus Christ were these. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they were united in marriage, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

30 But the angel said, »Do not be frightened, Mary, for you have found favour with God.

31 You will conceive in your womb and bear a son; and you are to call His name JESUS.

32 He will be great and He will be called Son of the Most High.' And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His forefather David;

33 and He will be King over the House of Jacob for the Ages, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.«

4 So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judaea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

5 to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.

6 But while they were there, her full time came,

7 and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

14 All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.

25 Now standing close to the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

26 So Jesus, seeing His mother, and seeing the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, »Behold, your son!«

27 Then He said to the disciple, »Behold, your mother!« And from that time the disciple received her into his own home.
